For lunch with my mother we ordered xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), cream shrimp and fish-fragrant eggplant over rice, and watched the dumplings being pleated by hand in the ground-floor open kitchen. Even my mother, who is sensitive to strong spices, said it was "not greasy at all" — a Gangnam Station Chinese restaurant worth booking for a family meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: 19 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Gangnam Station Exit 11) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:20 (last order 22:00) - **Ground floor**: Handmade dim sum open kitchen - **Second floor**: Spacious, upscale hall seating - **Table setting**: Roasted peanuts, zha cai (pickled mustard stem) - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at the table - **What we ordered**: Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), dim sum, cream shrimp, fish-fragrant eggplant over rice *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* A while ago I went for lunch with my mom to a Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station that feels authentic from the moment you walk in 😍 It's Namsogwan U Yuk Dosakmyeon, a long-running favorite known for beef knife-cut noodles and its dim sum, and it's super hot right now for Gangnam Station dim sum 🔥 The food and the vibe both exceeded my expectations — perfect for a Gangnam Station lunch, and honestly great for dinner too ✨ ![Main photo of Namsogwan U Yuk Dosakmyeon near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-01-1ui7k-1200.webp) ![Introductory photo of the Namsogwan U Yuk Dosakmyeon restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-02-k98zb-900.webp) ## Where is Namsogwan U Yuk Dosakmyeon, and what are its hours?

## Juicy xiaolongbao with cream shrimp and eggplant: the best combo 😋 That day we went all out ordering the signature dim sum item xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) plus other dim sum, cream shrimp as our cooked dish, and eggplant in fish-fragrant sauce over rice as our meal ![Namsogwan's xiaolongbao served in a steamer basket](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-16-1wyc6-m-900.webp) The xiaolongbao came fresh out of the steamer — I tore the skin a little to sip the warm broth first, then popped it in whole, and the juices burst out, so savory ![A single xiaolongbao showing its juicy filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-17-mqejg-900.webp) ![Namsogwan's handmade dim sum with generous filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-18-weacj-900.webp) Maybe because we'd watched them being hand-pleated on the 1st floor, but the wrapper was chewy and the filling generous — I have to call these the best dim sum of my life 🥟❤️ ### Cream shrimp at Namsogwan Next up, the cream shrimp: plump fried shrimp topped generously with a sweet, tangy, silky cream sauce ![Namsogwan cream shrimp topped with cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-19-qdgfl-900.webp) The crispy batter and the plump, springy shrimp meat together made every bite something to gasp over 🍤✨ ![Cross-section of the fried cream shrimp and shrimp meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-20-1bsfg-900.webp) ### Fish-fragrant eggplant over rice The eggplant stir-fry we got as our meal was also a huge hit ![Namsogwan's eggplant in fish-fragrant sauce over rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-21-1124m-900.webp) The soft eggplant soaked up a rich, savory special sauce, and paired with the fragrant rice it was truly an art form 🍆🍚 ## Verdict: the Gangnam Chinese restaurant that won my mother over ![Lunch table at Namsogwan shared with mom](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-22-6jk8p-900.webp) Honestly, I was a little worried the food might not suit mom since she's sensitive to strong spices, but after one bite she couldn't stop praising it, saying "it's not greasy at all, and it's so, so good" 👩👧🤍 ![Table spread with dim sum and cooked dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum/namsogwan-gangnam-mom-lunch-dimsum-23-1nnjd-900.webp) Thanks to handmade dim sum crafted by local chefs and a wide range of Chinese dishes, this feels like the best Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station — something everyone, young or old, can enjoy!!
